I swear some of you people are ridiculous.... The PS3 is gonna lay waste to the competition. Seriously.... You don't have to believe me, just go to google and search around for... no, strike that; I'll do the frickin' research for you. Links to information about the PS3's features: PS3 & PSP connectivity Info about the Cell graphics and backward-compatibility Links to videos for BOTH consoles: PS3portal's video gallery If you want/need more convincing, go search around... that's all I felt like linking for you. What can I say, I'm lazy... NEVERTHELESS!!! After reviewing all the videos I could find, for both consoles, on various sites and via BitTorrent downloads, I was left feeling that the PS3 is the only choice. These are expensive and the XBOX360 just didn't feel "NEXT-GEN" to me... I mean, seriously, the RSX graphics chip in the PS3 is more than two times more powerful than the most powerful video card available today for your high-performance gaming PC....... that's a thosand dollars plus worth of processing power, alone. C'mon people. Seriously... dual HD outputs... if you have 2 52" HDTVs, you have a 104" screen to play your PS3 through.... not that you do, but that's just awe-inspiring... maybe I'm just crazy, but my money's on Sony this time around...... even if the controllers are a bit aesthetically-challenged. Oh, yeah, one more thing: a company (exactly which one escapes my memory right now) has created a Blu-Ray DVD that can hold close to 100GB of data... that can be burned and then viewed on yer good old PS3. Nice, right? 100GB of MP3s for a party, or movies to babysit your kids, or home-movies, or porn, or home-movie porn, whatever!!! That's a lot. Ok, I'll shut up....... starting........... now. "and knowing is half the battle..." G-I-Jooooooooooooooooe!
